Title: Chapter 1: When it all comes crashing down
I know I got slammed with my last review of Addie...but I agree with Southern Sweetheart and I stand by what I said last time. Yes, she lost a baby..she's grieving BUT so is Nick. And her running to Nepal is NOT the way to go about it. I'm also with her when she said the got pissed when Addie said Mollie defined their relationship. If that's how she see it, then, like I said before, maybe Nick is better off without her. Nick has overcome a lot of his demons dealing with this and has showen great strides...Addie on the other hand, is going down a dark, dark, road. THAT is what therapy is about. They could go TOGETHER and work this out...TOGETHER. She's just too damn chickenshit to deal with it. I see the trip to Nepal as yet another way to avoid dealing with the situation. She can go down there, dive into her work and avoid the whole thing. I hardly believe its the best thing for them; it will only drive them farther apart..A year? Come on....
But, other than that, great chapter. Addie really does need a big dose of reality tho...but you write this beautifully. The angst is there and makes your heart just go out to them both. Well done!
Author's Response: I didn't mean to slam you for disliking Adie in the last review. I dislike her a lot of the time too but people do strange things when death is involved.
You are completely right in what you said about her grieving, she has totally lost sight of Nick in a big way. But I think she is completely right in what she is trying to do because if she has lost sight of who she is, how can she be in a relationship? She is going away to try and figure that out.
Nick has completely done a 180 from the start of this story. There is a huge growth in him and in the next chapter he is going to do something huge, something that you will not be expecting (It's a good thing!) I think everyone will be really proud of him.
Thanks for the review hun. xxx
